title = "Performance Evaluation of a Quasi-TM Mode Silicon Optical Modulator",
abstract = "This paper investigates the performance of a silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) employing quasi-TM mode propagation. A comparison of the quasi-TM MZM with quasi-TE MZM shows better performance of the quasi-TM modulator. The quasi-TM PN phase shifter analysis, modulator transfer characteristics, traveling wave electrode design, and high-speed characteristics have been determined. The designed quasi-TM MZM can achieve 36 Gbps error-free operation at 4 Vpp driving voltage under 2 V reverse bias with non-return-to-zero on-off keying. The 3 dB modulation bandwidth of the designed quasi-TM traveling wave MZM is 20 GHz at -2 V.",
